On 12 December 2018, Mark Drakeford became Wales new First Minister after the resignation of Carwyn Jones. As the previous Finance Secretary, Professor Drakeford was the one to watch for when it came to all things economy, specifically the Welsh Budget. He presented this in Draft in October 2018.

In 2017, Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake introduced a Private Member’s ‘Ballot Bill’ to Parliament, making provision for a new statutory entitlement to leave and pay for employees whose children have died. With cross-party support in both Houses of Parliament, this became the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act 2018 on 13 September 2018.
